Not sure if I am doing it right but how do you get twrp to show up on your phone? I unlocked bootloader and I think I flashed twrp correctly but when I try to go to recovery it says no command. Anyone else ran into this issue or know what is wrong? Thanks
While in Fast boot, use the volume buttons to navigate the menu to Recovery, then hit the power button to select it. It TWRP flashed correctly, it will boot into it.

I have the exact same issue, tried it with windroid and then just flashing it myself.
Try reinstalling TWRP and be sure to boot directly into it from fastboot. If you don't do that initially than the install won't stick.

So what does it mean when you say "boot directly into it". I have a moto x pure edition running marshmallow. I used Windroid and when flashing TWRP that's what I got, "no command".
The phone will boot normally but I'd like to complete this process.
Thank you.

Don't boot into system. If you do your phone tries to replace custom recovery with stock.
Flash twrp from fastboot. Then use the volume rocker and power key to choose boot recovery. Flash a systemless root from twrp, and it will stop getting replaced when you boot normally.

Just so I understand how to do that....when the windroid asks if I want to reboot I say "no" and then by holding the volume down and power key I MANUALLY reboot into the bootloader to do this?

How To Install A Custom Recovery On Your Device
Prerequisites: unlocked bootloader.
Download the recovery of your choice, here's TWRP.
Make sure you check the md5 to verify its integrity (where possible).
Place the file in your fastboot folder (this is where fastboot.exe is located on your PC).
Put the phone in fastboot mode and connect it to your PC via usb cable.
Open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder (shift + right click, select open command prompt here), and enter the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery .img
(Replace with the actual filename of the recovery, the recovery filename in the command will change depending on which recovery you're flashing)
Wait for the recovery to flash, it'll only take a few seconds, you'll get a finished message in your command prompt window once it's done.
It's now safe to disconnect your usb cable.
Don't reboot the phone normally, use the volume buttons to highlight recovery and press the power button to select it. This will stop the stock OS from patching it with the stock recovery in boot. Once you've booted into TWRP like this once, you can reboot normally.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3200808
Edit:
Don't forget to check md5. You could ve installing a corrupt file.
Here's the easy answer.
boot into bootloader, then:
fastboot flash recovery twrpfilename.img
THEN, do this:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
LAST, use volume rocker to select recovery. It should successfully boot TWRP now.
The trick is AFTER FLASHING, reboot back into bootloader, THEN boot into TWRP. Should do the trick.
Good Luck!
PS: the "No command" isn't an error -- it's stock recovery. If you hold down volume up and tap power, the stock recovery option appear. This is irrelevant though since you are flashing TWRP, but thought I'd add.

Load up the file you want to check.
Copy md5 code or if there is an md5 file you can download it edit it with notepad to get the md5 code or u can load up the md5 file in the paste box of md5 checker.
Click check.
If the md5 matches you are good to install.
if the md5 mismatches, redownload.
Most android downloads comes with a md5 code underneath the download.

The correct syntax is:

You didn't tell fastboot which partition to flash the image file to.

Hi,
I unlocked my bootloader today and I just flashed the latest CWM Recovery via Fastboot.
However, when I try to enter Android Recovery I get the Android with the white triangle and exclamation point.
I saw a similar thread but did not see a resolution. Do I need to flash the Gingerbread boot.img via Fastboot?
Also, I read you have to delete a file somewhere or else the default recovery restores itself every reboot? I did not delete any such file, and when I unlocked my bootloader, it obviously wiped my data.
Any ideas how I can get into recovery and flash me a dang ROM?

Start the phone in Fastboot AP mode.
Connect your phone to PC via MicroUSB cable.
open a command prompt and change to the folder you downloaded your TWRP.IMG file.

i installed an older verison of twrp and had all the issues you speak off, installed 2.8.6 with success but would not root upon reboot, installed the super su zip in op via twrp, one last thing i had to enter the super su app and tap enable superuser and now all is good:good::good

When you say "installed TWRP successful"... do you mean that fastboot didn't error? or that fastboot completed the install, you did a mfastboot reboot-bootloader, and tried entering TWRP but it still gave you the "dead android" image?

Sunshine... IF you're phone has never been upgraded to 4.4.4.
BUT if you can get unlock code from Moto, while it can void your warranty (depending on your local laws), that is FREE, and the best way.

This requires you to have an unlocked bootloader which will wipe data if you have not unlocked already.
Recovery does take some time to boot It has taken up to 45 seconds for the TWRP curtain to show for me
To get to bootloader without adb:
Turn device off
Hold Vol Down
Insert USB plug while plugged into your PC
Hold Vol Down until fastboot pops up
Instructions:
If you have issues with adb or fastboot follow this post: HERE
If bootloader is unlocked:
reboot into bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img
If your bootloader is locked:
enabled developer options
in developer options "Enable OEM unlock"
reboot into bootloader
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.1-h901.img
Known issues:
You get to see that it's not truly 2 displays
Time is not saved from Android to Recovery
Display does not turn off when it times out
TheJesus said:
I've messaged @KAsp3rd to include it in his OP.
ONLY PERFORM IF YOU HAVE ALREADY FLASHED TWRP AND CREATED AN EXTERNAL BACKUP!!!
1. Hold Volume Down
2. Hold Power button until you see LG screen
3. Release Power button and then rehold Power button
4. Follow on-screen prompts to perform a Factory Reset (If you have TWRP, this should not actually factory reset, but there has been one case of it doing it, that's why I suggest keeping a copy of your backup on your computer), may take a minute to boot into TWRP
5. Enjoy TWRP without fastboot

I can't push stock.img from fastboot. Reading from mickeyinid post in that thread, "Make sure you have the newest fastboot binary or it won't flash the system.img" It has a cap at 53MB but the filesize for system.img is 4.2GB.
android has a file /system/etc/install-recovery.sh when you boot up it overwrites teh recovery with stock, chances are its doing that.
boot into fastboot, flash it, then use
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h901.img
that will drop you into recovery (it takes like 30 seconds) form there you can do a syou wish, then click on reboot system and it will remove that file so youll have twrp always.

Once I put in the fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.0-h901.img command, I heard the computer disconnect and it took more like a minute or a minute in a half but it worked. Then I flashed SuperSU and now I'm ROOTED!!! Thanks!!!!
All rooted. Thank you @KAsp3rd!!

that worked. TWRP installed and rooted. FYI it does take a little time to boot into TWRP with the fastboot command and normal also.
Thanks for the help all

Yes. I have it. Use the arm64 for Lollipop version. It does however break the second screen occasionally (it FC's when I get/make a phone call, but that's it). BUT it has RootCloak which lets me use Android Pay while rooted
Success! The whole process was very easy and worked the first time! Thanks for posting this!
I'm stuck in an infinite eRecovery loop. No matter what I try or what I do I can't get the phone to boot back into the OS. Anyone have any tips or tricks? Huawei is going to do an rma for me but I'm flying out on business for 2 weeks and really need this phone with me. It's an MLA-L03 that is oem unlocked (which is what I'm thinking is causing me the most issues as I can't do the normal button presses to get to certain things but I can't relock it as it says it can't be trusted or whatever)
I did manage to get to a point where I have full access to /data/ but no matter what rom I try to flash it fails with failing to mount /cust/
If I put an update.app it will get to 5% and hang until it fails when I do the button press to force an update. I cannot get to the emui factory reset screen.
PS, yes I know I'm a dumbass, so be gentle lol. I'm really desperate and have nothing to lose at this point so will to try anything.
I did try everything here with no luck (other than getting full access to /data/ lol):

Ok so you'll have to flash firmware with fastboot.
You need to download and install fastboot, firmware finder and huawei extract tool.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979 (fastboot), https://forum.xda-developers.com/tools/general/huawei-firmware-finder-team-mt-t3469146 (firmware finder), https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454 (huawei extract tool).
So install adb and fastboot, extract firmware finder and huawei extract tool. Open firmware finder hit common base, on model for find enter mla-l03 and download a full ota, form firmware you just downloaded extract update.app. Now open huawei extract tool and load your update.app you've just extracted and extract from there boot.img, recovery.img and system.img by using the right click (extract them on the same folder where is located fastboot, for example I got fastboot installed on local C/adb).
If you have twrp installed boot in fastboot mode by using twrp, if not you can boot in fastboot mode with the phone turned off by pressing volume - while plugging the usb cable.
Open cmd and write cd /adb (between cd and / is space) and hit enter than write fastboot flash boot BOOT.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.IMG and hit enter, fastboot flash system SYSTEM.IMG and hit enter, after finally writing the system write fastboot reboot and hit enter and wait till phone reboots.
Thanks, I've done all that already and it did not fix it but will try again once I get home.

Really?
I got my phone in the same state and was the only method witch helped me.
Did you successfully flashed boot, recovery and system and still not working? phone get stuck on the huawei logo? After you flash them, boot into recovery and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
yup, everything flashed successfully. I can't get into the recovery to do a factory reset. I have 4 options at my disposal:
1. fastboot
2. Huawei eRecovery
3. TWRP
4. force update where it always fails at 5%
I think the biggest thing that is screwing me is the fact that it's unlocked and I can't relock it. I'm almost 100% positive if I could relock it, I would have no issues with it.
And woh do you boot into twrp? Since you can boot into twrp you must be able to boot in stock recovery. Use huawei multi tool by black team too go into recovery.

Thanks I'll try that.
It's weird. I flash TWRP, do what I need to do, then reflash the recovery.img. However it just does a continuous loop to eRecovery when I do that unless I try to force it to update.
I'll try using the fastboot that you linked to and see if that makes a difference. Right now I'm using the minimal adb and fastboot install.
EDIT: Same result when trying to relock the bootloader--device cannot be trusted.
EDIT2: Do you have the cust.img file? None of the firmwares I've downloaded has it in it.

When your device reboots and you get to the warning screen about your device being unlocked, what buttons do you press to get into the normal (ie not eRecovery) recovery where you can do a factory reset? When I have TWRP installed, I have to hold volume + and volume - at the same time to go into TWRP. If I do the same thing after I reflash recovery.img, then it goes straight into the forced update which stalls and fails at 5%. Volume - reboots and goes back to fastboot. Volume + takes me to eRecovery. Doing nothing, the phone reboots and goes to eRocovery on the reboot. Holding down all 3 buttons also goes to the forced update screen.
I'm assuming that I'm missing something super simple and stupid so I'm going to go over everything again, step by step very carefully.

To enter in normal recovery you have to press and hold at the same time volume - and power button.

That just reboots me and then puts me in fastboot unfortunately. I'm going to try loading twrp and removing anything in /dload/ and see if it will boot to normal recovery. Last time I checked there was an update.app file there so maybe it's just bypassing recovery and trying to install that.

I'm driving and it's a bit hard to write did you tried another recovery? You can flsh twrp, put the stock recovery on sdcard, boot into twrp and flash recovery from there and reboot phone from twrp into recovery....
No worries, I really appreciate all the help. Now stop texting and driving. Your life is more important than my phone!!
Friends unlocked bootloader but unable to flash twrp or twrp. After giving command getting message in my phone " press any key to reboot". Please help.
Reboot to bootloader and in adb type
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.zip
Then turn your phn off.
Press and hold power button+volume down(not sure if up or down..try both)
To boot into twrp

Pwr + volume up = fastboot.
Pwr + vol down = recovery (stock / twrp).
Don't have twrp.zip file. Reyes twrp.img file with.zip command it also didn't work. Same msg continued "press any key to shutdown" in my phone.
I tried to install Asus Android ADB interface driver perhaps it not working properly.
Search for minimal adb and fastboot...download and install
Boot into fastboot then
Fastboot flash recovery (name of file with extension)
Your twrp file must be in the same folder as adb
You have to flash twrp in fastboot and then boot to twrp right after and flash it again
use another pc...
same problem

Are you running stock Android Pie version (16.2017.1903.050)?, I faced also this problem on stock Android Pie, What I did is downgrade it back to stock Oreo version (.340)

faced the issue untill I realized it was an issue regarding USB 3.0. The phone cannot support such a higher data speed. Use a USB 2.0 hub between your PC and your phone. That solved my problem.
For some reason connecting the phone to a usb 2.0 port in my laptop also did not solve the problem.
